Abstract Vriesea maculosa Mez is a poorly known species with no further recordings since the type collection 101 years ago. As a result of our research about Vriesea as part of the study of the Flora of Bahia, Brazil, new specimens and data are now available for this species justifying an amendment to its description. We provide a complete taxonomical description, including floral details analyzed in freshly collected material. We propose to treat V. fabioi as a new synonym of V. maculosa, and expand on the distribution and phenotypic variation found between populations. The species is illustrated in detail, using line drawings as well as photographs of different populations in the field. Key words: Chapada Diamantina, epiphytes, lithophytes, Poales, Tillandsioideae, Vrieseeae Introduction The Pico das Almas is one the highest peaks belonging to the Espinhaço mountain range, reaching 1958 m elevation. As a whole, the Espinhaço range, between the states of Bahia and Minas Gerais, is an important area for Vriesea (Lindley 1843: 29) species diversification (Versieux et al. 2008), found growing either inside forested and humid valleys as epiphytes or terrestrials, or as lithophytes on rocky outcrops (Versieux & Wendt 2006, Versieux 2008, Versieux & Machado 2012; Moura & Costa 2014). The Pico das Almas is located in the municipality of Rio de Contas, along the southern portion of Chapada Diamantina, Bahia, Northeastern Brazil (Stannard 1995). The flora of this region has been thoroughly investigated and the Bromeliaceae occurring there encompasses 7 genera and 14 species (Mayo et al. 1995; Stannard 1995). At Pico das Almas, Vriesea is represented by four species, including the new record presented here. In the systematic treatment for this genus in the Flora of Pico das Almas (Mayo et al. 1995), one specimen housed in K and SPF herbaria (Harley et al. 24467) is listed under Vriesea friburgensis Mez (1894: 537). Nevertheless, Mayo et al. (1995) clearly stated that new collections were necessary in order to establish the correct identification for this specimen, since it presents ovoid floral bracts and is somewhat similar to Vriesea friburgensis var. paludosa (Smith 1943: 119) Smith (1952: 68) and Vriesea schwackeana Mez (1894: 590). After collecting in the same area as indicated by Harley et al. 24467 it was possible to conclude that the specimens obtained in this area correspond to Vriesea maculosa Mez (1913: 418), a taxon that was described around one century ago and has not been found since that time. The holotype of Vriesea maculosa was collected by the German botanist Ernest Heinrich Georg Ule and is deposited in the Berlin Herbarium (B). Ule explored the Serra do Sincorá, which belongs to the Chapada Diamantina (the northern limit of Espinhaço mountain range), and include mountains along the eastern and central borders of the Chapada Diamantina. Nowadays, the Sincorá mountain range encompasses areas of the following municipalities: Lençóis, Palmeiras, Andaraí, Mucugê, Barra da Estiva, beside the villages of Caeté Açu, Guiné, Igatu, Cascavel, Mundo Novo, and Sincorá Velho (Pedreira 2002). Ule described several new species and two new genera of Bromeliaceae after his expeditions in Bahia (Ule 1909). Vriesea maculosa, however, was described by Mez (1913) and after that was not recollected in 198 Accepted by Eric Gouda: 3 Oct. 2014; published: 15 Dec. 2014 Literature cited Barfuss, M.H.J., Samuel, R., Till, W. & Stuessy, T.F.

LOESCHEN,* CRAIG E. MARTIN,' * MARIAN SMITH,t AND SUZANNE L. EDERf •Department of Botany, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas 66045-2106; and t Department of Biological Sciences, Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, Illinois 62026-1651 The relationship between leaf anatomy, specifically the percent of leaf volume occupied by water- storage parenchyma (hydrenchyma), and the contribution of respiratory C02 during Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) was investigated in 12 epiphytic species of Tillandsia. It has been postulated that the hydrenchyma, which contributes to C02 exchange through respiration only, may be causally related to the recently observed phenomenon of C02 recycling during CAM. Among the 12 species of Tillandsia, leaves of T. usneoides and T. bergeri exhibited 0% hydrenchyma, while the hydrenchyma in the other species ranged from 2.9% to 53% of leaf cross-sectional area. Diurnal malate fluctuation and nighttime atmospheric C02 uptake were measured in at least four individuals of each species. A significant excess of diurnal malate fluctuation as compared with atmospheric C02 absorbed overnight was observed only in T. schiedeana. This species had an intermediate proportion (30%) of hydrenchyma in its leaves. Results of this study do not support the hypothesis that C02 recycling during CAM may reflect respiratory contributions of C02 from the tissue hydrenchyma.

  • General Information Bromeliaceae Family
    General Information Bromeliads are a unique and fascinating family of hundreds of extremely diversified and exotic plants, which are amazingly adaptable, tough and relatively easy to grow. People often say that Bromeliads thrive on neglect. The species can tolerate a huge variety of growing conditions including heat, light, air and moisture. No Bromeliads are native to Australia and therefore have all been imported and introduced here. The plants are native to the Southern States of the USA, Central America and deep into South America, with regions like Florida, Mexico, the West Indies, parts of Brazil and as far south as Chile having many and various species. One very primitive species is also found in Africa and has survived since the two continents separated. Bromeliaceae Family The entire bromeliad family called Bromeliaceae, is divided into three subfamilies containing many genera, with the Bromelioideae and Tillandsioideae subfamilies being the most popular bromeliads for enthusiasts and collectors. The subfamily Bromelioideae is distributed from Mexico to Argentina and has the greatest number of genera. They are mostly epiphytic, tank-type plants with spiny leaves and berry-like fruit containing wet seeds. The subfamily Pitcairnioideae are the most primitive bromeliads, descended from the grass family. Nearly all are terrestrial. Most have spiny leaves. The seeds are dry and usually winged. The subfamily Tillandsioideae has few genera, but includes about half of the species of bromeliads. Growing throughout the Americas, they are mostly epiphytes. All have spineless leaves. Seeds are dry, with feathery "parachutes" and are blown and float in the wind. The most notable and commercially developed of the family is the edible pineapple (Ananus comosus).

Alcantarea (Bromeliaceae) has 26 species that are endemic to eastern Brazil, occurring mainly on gneissÁgranitic rock outcrops (‘inselbergs’). Alcantarea has great ornamental potential and several species are cultivated in gardens. Limited data is available in the literature regarding the leaf anatomical features of the genus, though it has been shown that it may provide valuable information for characterizing of Bromeliaceae taxa. In the present work, we employed leaf anatomy to better characterize the genus and understand its radiation into harsh environments, such as inselbergs. We also searched for characteristics potentially useful in phylogenetic analyses and in delimiting Alcantarea and Vriesea. The anatomical features of the leaves, observed for various Alcantarea species, are in accordance with the general pattern shown by other Bromeliaceae members.

  • The Genus Guzmania (Bromeliaceae) in Venezuela
    The genus Guzmania (Bromeliaceae) in Venezuela Compiled by Yuribia Vivas Fundación Instituto Botánico de Venezuela Bruce Holst & Harry Luther Marie Selby Botanical Gardens The genus Guzmania was described by Hipólito Ruiz and José Pavón in 1802 in the "Flora Peruviana et Chilensis." The type species is Guzmania tricolor Ruiz & Pav. The name honors Spanish naturalist Anastasio Guzmán, a student of South American plants and animals (Grant & Zijlstra 1998). Species of Guzmania are distributed from the southern USA (Florida) and Mexico to Brazil and Peru, including the Most species of Guzmania are found in cloud forests at middle elevations. Antilles; they are largely absent from lowland Amazonia. Photograph by Yuribia Vivas. Figure modified from Smith & Downs, Flora Neotropica. Guzmania is placed in the subfamily Tillandsioideae, and is distinguished from other members of the subfamily (Vriesea,Tillandsia, Catopsis, Racinaea, Alcantarea, Mezobromelia, and Werauhia) by having polystichously arranged flowers (that is, arranged in many planes on the inflorescence axis), white, whitish, yellow, or greenish petals that lack nectar scales, and having generally reddish brown-colored seeds. In general aspect, Guzmania is difficult to distinguish from Mezobromelia since both are polystichously flowered and may have similar color schemes, but the presence of nectar scales in Mezobromelia and absence inGuzmania separates them. Approximately 200 species and 17 varieties of Guzmania are known, making it the third largest genus in the subfamily, after Tillandsia and Vriesea. The table below is a listing of Guzmania in Venezuela, with synonymy, types, phenology, and distribution. Column two contains photographs of live plants and the third column, type specimens.

Thirteen per cent of species with C values typical of C3 plants (i.e. from −22.6 to −31.5‰) showed nocturnal acidification and either a small pro- portion (< 10%) of daily CO2 uptake occurring nocturnally or internal CO2 recycling during part of the night. None altered CAM expression in response to short-term drought, but the contribution of CAM to daily carbon gain became proportionally more important as C3 CO2 uptake failed. • Surveys of plant communities using solely the carbon isotope technique under- estimate the number of CAM-equipped plants.

Bromeliads have high diversity 29 throughout the Neotropics, but they have been negatively affected by habitat loss and 30 fragmentation, climate change, herbivorous species invasions, and they are also being 31 commercialized for ornamental use. These plants provide direct benefits to the human 32 society and they also form micro ecosystems in which accumulated water and nutrients 33 support the communities of aquatic and terrestrial species, thus maintaining local 34 diversity. We performed a systematic review of the contribution of bromeliads to 35 ecosystem services across their native geographical distribution.
